GetItem (Contact) Request Example

Code

<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
               xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
               xmlns:soap="https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
               xmlns:t="https://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types">
  <soap:Body>
    <GetItem xmlns='https://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages'>
      <ItemShape>
        <t:BaseShape>AllProperties</t:BaseShape>
      </ItemShape>
      <ItemIds>
        <t:ItemId Id="AAAtAE=" ChangeKey="EQAAABY" />
      </ItemIds>
    </GetItem>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Comments

The request to get an item from the Exchange store takes the same form for all item types. The responses to requests for different items will be different because different items return different information based on the response shapes.

Note

The item identifier has been shortened to preserve readability.

Request Elements

The following elements are used in the request:

• GetItem
• ItemShape
• BaseShape
• ItemIds
• ItemId
